To execute Python3 code in VSCode, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Install Python3 on your system if it's not already installed.

  2. Open VSCode and create a new file with the .py extension.

  3. Write your Python3 code in the file.

  4. Click on the Terminal menu and select New Terminal or use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+`.

  5. In the Terminal, type the command python3 filename.py to execute your Python3 code.

If you encounter the error message "/bin/sh: 1: python: not found", it means that the terminal is unable to find the Python executable file. In that case, you need to add Python3 to your system's PATH variable. To do this, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Terminal and type the command echo $PATH to see the current PATH variable.

  2. Check if the path to the Python3 executable file is included in the PATH variable. If it's not included, you need to add it.

  3. To add the path to the Python3 executable file to the PATH variable, type the command export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/python3 in the Terminal. Replace /usr/local/bin/python3 with the actual path to the Python3 executable file on your system.

  4. Once you've added the path to the Python3 executable file to the PATH variable, try executing your Python3 code again using the command python3 filename.py. It should work now without any errors.
